Docosahexaenoic acid supplementation alters plasma phospholipid fatty acid composition in hyperlipidemic children: Results from the Endothelial Assessment of Risk from Lipids in Youth (EARLY) study

Evidence suggests that dietary n-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are protective against cardiovascular disease. Previous research has shown that DHA supplementation improves vascular endothelial function in hyperlipidemic children. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with DHA on plasma phospholipid fatty acid composition in hyperlipidemic children as a...
